From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ou l'on reconnait ... un ancien pharmacien is a 1852 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a lively scene with a man, a dog, and another figure. The man is interacting with the dog, which is being held by someone else. The scene is set against an urban backdrop, which adds depth to the image. The artist used simple lines and shading to create a sense of action.

Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870.
